Egypt's history goes back many millennia. Many dates could be used as dates of its founding. The modern state of Egypt was given its independence from the United Kingdom, which previous held it as a protectorate, on February 28, 1922. It became a republic---The Arab Republic of Egypt---on June 18, 1953, following a revolution that ultimately forced the King of Egypt to abdicate. It's current constitution is dated March 30, 2011. If you want an ancient founding date, the Kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were unified in 3150BCE. So, if you want an age of Egypt, it depends on which founding date you want to go with. The republic will be turning 60 in 2013.
